Dear Editor.

Dear Editor.
With veneration l gaze on the
pages of your paper with gratitude,
thanking God and you for such
grand paper. Our church and Sab
bath school is going to the front, all
of the old people here attend Sab
bath school. The spiritual work OF
the church have been cold, but now
she is moving, God is in the midst
of Zion. l have been preaching here
very near two years, the longest any
man was ever pastor in twenty years.
Spiritual declention has been dread
full, but Christ, with his kinglY
power, has taken up the stumbling
blocks out of the way of his people,
and onward we are marching to
Zion. Bring forth the tocsin
shouting grace, grace be unto God.
We love the BANNER and will do all
we can to propagate it and pray for
| its success. Yours Truly.
